Chapter 456: Arrogant Scholar

After the New Year's Eve, time officially entered the fiftieth year of Taixing.

It is rumored that the old Emperor is becoming more and more insane.

During the New Year's Day worship, he made a lot of fuss, and there were many unsightly scenes, losing all decency and the face of the country.

The court officials concluded that the old Emperor was bewitched by Daoist priests and bewitched by Jiang Tu.

A group of hot-blooded young officials organized a rush into the Daoist temple, smashing statues and beating Daoist priests, causing a storm in the city.

This mess, this style, Chen Guanlou knew at a glance that it was Zhao Mingqiao's style.

An old fox like Yu Zhaoan would disdain such means; it was too rough and didn't fit his aesthetic.

Other ministers in the court were similar to Yu Zhaoan; they were better at using court rules to drill loopholes, rather than taking action to smash things like a greenhorn.

However, Zhao Mingqiao seemed to be very keen on this kind of means; if he was unhappy, he would go straight, vent directly, and not engage in that kind of suffocating and body-harming set.

He even dared to kill his mentor Lu Mingchuan; there were not many things in this world that he dared not do. The reason he didn't dare was probably because he hadn't found the opportunity yet. Once the opportunity was delivered to his door, Chen Guanlou couldn't imagine what crazy things Zhao Mingqiao would do.

Dare not think!

He secretly went to visit Zhao Mingqiao once, hiding on the roof beam, watching Zhao Mingqiao speak eloquently and passionately brainwashing that group of hot-blooded young officials and hot-blooded students, which had developed into a kind of religion, a fanatical religion.

He also overheard that this group of people planned to attack Jiang Tu's mansion in two days. If they could take this opportunity to kill Jiang Tu, that would be the best.

They were gambling on the law not punishing the masses.

He even heard his own name.

"Everyone doesn't need to worry about going to jail. I will find a way to get everyone into the Heavenly Prison. The prison guard of the Jia-sized prison in the Heavenly Prison is a friend I have known for many years. With him there, you won't suffer in the Heavenly Prison and will be able to get out sooner or later."

Chen Guanlou:...

Forget it, he wouldn't argue with this scum Zhao Mingqiao.

Let him make a fuss.

If they really get locked into the Heavenly Prison, it's not a big deal to take care of them; as long as the silver is in place, it will be fine.

Two days later, this group of hot-blooded officials and hot-blooded students really ran to attack Jiang Tu's mansion.

The servants in Jiang Tu's mansion fought back, but it seemed they didn't dare to fight back too much; in short, they were tied up. The two sides looked like they were tearing each other apart very fiercely, but there was no fatal injury.

What they wanted was momentum, atmosphere, and attitude.

This group of hot-blooded officials and hot-blooded students had truly fierce combat power; they really rushed into Jiang Tu's mansion to smash things, arrogant beyond measure.

The Wucheng Military and Horse Division learned of the news and rushed over in a hurry; seeing they couldn't stop it, they directly pushed the ball to the Jingzhao Prefecture, and then ran away with an excuse.

The people of the Jingzhao Prefecture looked at it, and this scene was truly fierce; their small bodies couldn't bear it, so they learned from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division's operation, pushed the matter to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and ran away with a rotten excuse.

Embroidered Uniform Guard:...

Couldn't push it!

They could only bite the bullet and go up to separate this bunch of lunatics.

Not surprisingly, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was also injured.

Hot-blooded officials might fear the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but hot-blooded students absolutely did not fear them, firmly wanting to fight to the end with all ghosts and monsters.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the eagle dog of the imperial court and should fight.

The scene was in a mess for a while.

Finally, the current Right Prime Minister Yu Zhaoan came forward, suppressed the excited emotions of the hot-blooded students, and after much persuasion, let this group of energetic students disperse.

As for the losses of the Jiang Mansion, naturally, the Jiang Mansion bore them itself.

Ask the hot-blooded students to compensate?

Don't want your life anymore?

Want to be beaten again?

The servants of the Jiang Mansion were arrogant, but they also knew they couldn't beat the students to death. Beating a student to death is a small matter, but the impact would affect the entire court. Its severity far exceeded corruption.

At that time, Jiang Tu would be exiled even if he didn't die.

The importance of students is just that awesome.

This is also why Jiang Tu would rather deal with court officials than deal with that group of mad dog-like students. You can't beat them!

Jiang Tu himself, with bad luck, was hit by two smelly shoes. Although he wasn't injured, he lost face.

He was so angry that he smashed several sets of beloved porcelain.

It was truly a bad year, offending the Tai Sui.

Zhao Mingqiao planned two riots throughout the process, giving the old Emperor great embarrassment.

But the old Emperor couldn't vent his anger.

Who told him not to care about decency and make such an embarrassing scene during the New Year's Day worship, losing all the face of the country.

The old Emperor could only endure it temporarily, but he was furious in the Taiji Palace.

The imperial princes knew better and didn't go up to touch the bad luck, hiding one after another, looking for various excuses just to avoid entering the palace.

The concubines in the harem were also calm and self-cultivating. What yin and yang complement each other, all of these were not important.

The court officials also wanted to hide for a few days of quiet. It was the New Year, and they didn't want to work hard.

If there is anything, wait until the holiday is over.

For a time, the Taiji Palace was rarely deserted. Besides the palace servants who served, no one came to pay respects.

Qiu Defu was afraid that the old Emperor would notice this situation, so he signaled the palace servants to make a busy appearance, and not to stand still like wooden people.

The old Emperor walked back and forth in the hall with bare feet.

Qiu Defu kept persuading, asking the old Emperor to put on shoes and socks and take care of his body.

Although it was useless, he couldn't help but persuade.

The old Emperor tore the beloved whisk into garbage, making the floor full of hair falling from the whisk.

"The Emperor must take care of his body. Although it is already the beginning of spring, the weather is still severe. If the Emperor falls ill, how should the sacrificial ceremony be held?"

"My body is very good. With the medicinal pills offered by the Jixia Academy, my body has never been so relaxed. Living another thirty or fifty years is not a problem."

Qiu Defu:...

If the imperial princes heard this, how desperate they would be!

Thirty or fifty years, the court officials are afraid they can't bear it and want to rebel.

"The Emperor has great fortune, this slave congratulates the Emperor!"

"That group of arrogant scholars, if they aren't severely punished, one by one they don't know the majesty of the imperial court. Summon the two Prime Ministers and the various important ministers to see me."

"Emperor, it's only the fifth day today."

"I can't wait." The old Emperor gritted his teeth. "Must strip that group of arrogant scholars of their fame, so that they will never want to step into the officialdom in their lives. I want to see, after this group of arrogant scholars lose their fame, whether they still dare to be arrogant. Once their fame is removed, throw them all into the big prison, don't let any of them go."

Qiu Defu was shocked when he heard this.

If he really does this, this is a major event that will shock the world!

If it were a peaceful time, with the majesty of the imperial court and the authority of the Emperor, he could definitely suppress this matter and suppress the impact to a minimum.

But now, both the north and the south are fighting, and the world is in chaos.

If such a shocking thing is made again, I am afraid that all the students in the world will be separated from their hearts and run to the Chu King's side.

Qiu Defu didn't dare to persuade; he was afraid of death.

He could only pin his hopes on the various court officials.

Hoping that the court officials could stop the old Emperor from going crazy as much as possible, and with the sacrificial ceremony imminent, don't make a big move and attract criticism from people all over the world. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
